We are teaching theory when students need practical skills – Konnected Minds founder

According to him, the solution lies not only in expanding access to higher education but also in creating structured pathways that equip young people with practical and vocational skills.

Ghanaian-UK entrepreneur and founder of Konnected Minds, Derrick Abaitey, has called for a greater emphasis on practical skills training in Ghana's education system, arguing that graduates need hands-on experience to meet the demands of today's job market.

Mr Abaitey stressed that Ghana's education system must move beyond theory and rote learning to equip students with practical skills they can apply in the workplace and everyday life.
